Buccaneers vs. Chicago Bears

Sunday, September 11, 1983 - Away Game

LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 Chicago Bears 17

Buccaneers offensive line injuries continued, as Steve Wilson and Randy Grimes both injured their snapping hands, and guard Ray Snell bruised his wrist. Despite the absence of three starting linemen, the Buccaneers held the Bears defense to two sacks.

The Buccaneers missed numerous opportunities to win or tie the game, including being stopped on three consecutive plays from the one-yard line, dropping interceptions, and committing turnovers. An apparent Melvin Carver touchdown reception was nullified when he failed to keep his feet in bounds. On the following series, a faked reverse by Bears quarterback Jim McMahon fooled cornerback John Holt, freeing Walter Payton for a touchdown reception.
